Home of Saint Afra and Saint Ulrich Our city is home to two of great saints of the past: Saint Afra and Saint Ulrich. Afra guaranteed protection for the Christian bishop Narcissus of Girona in Augsburg during the time of their persecution during Roman reign. She was later baptized by Narcissus. However, the Romans discovered her role in the persecution and was executed by the Romans in the year 304. Saint Ulrich on the other hand has a lesser role in Christian faith, but was a great leader of our city. His rule lasted from 923 to 973 and assured the construction of a proper city wall, which protected Augsburg from the marauding Hungarians +10.0% Clergy Loyalty Equilibrium

Augsburger Religionsfriede The Protestant Reformation spread like a plague in the Holy Roman Empire. Catholics and Protestants waged wars against each other and the sovereignity of the Emperor himself was threatened. Emperor Karl V von Habsburg (1500 - 1558) tried to stop the reformation through fights with heretic princes but in the end he had to admit defeat. On the 25th of September 1555, Karl signed the Augsburger Reichs- und Religionsfrieden - the imperial and religious peace treaty, which provided religious unity within the state. While it did not give the Protestants the full religious freedom nor prevent the Thirty Years' War of 1618, it at least is the pioneer of the peace treaty which will be known as the Westfälischer Friede - the Peace of Westphalia +3.00 Tolerance of Heretics
